Song Qingshu frowned. How was this possible?
With his cultivation, there was no way he could have made a mistake. He was certain that there were 1024 petals.
Xue Baochai looked at her brother in disbelief, "You actually got it right? How many petals did you write? "
"Of course, your brother is blessed by the heavens. He has the blessings of the gods." Xue Pan was extremely pleased with himself. "I was just casually writing and I think I wrote around eight hundred. I didn't think I would actually get it right."
Xue Baochai couldn't help but spit, "Stop blaspheming the gods."
Song Qingshu's heart was as clear as a mirror when he heard their conversation. He had initially suspected that he had been careless and missed out a few petals. However, Xue Pan's answer was only around eight hundred. It was impossible for there to be such a huge difference.
However, Hua Kui had said that it was the correct answer. Song Qingshu quickly understood that Hua Kui was manipulating things from behind the scenes. In fact, he only had the right to come here because Hua Kui had tampered with the poem.
He had originally thought that Hua Kui was here for Jia Baoyu, but it seemed that he was really here for Xue Pan.
What was going on?
Song Qingshu was even more puzzled.
The other young masters didn't think too much about it. When they saw that Hua Kui had chosen Xue Pan, they all looked as if they had lost their parents and tried to persuade her to reconsider. Some of them even mentioned his nickname, Local Bully.
How could Xue Pan endure this kind of humiliation? He immediately jumped up and began to fight with that person. The rest of the people were originally unhappy that Xue Pan had the beauty in his arms. They all pretended to stop the fight, but in reality, they were holding onto Xue Pan's arms and legs. They made it so that he couldn't fight freely and could only take a beating from the beginning to the end.
Xue Baochai naturally wanted to go over and help, but as a woman, she was somewhat resistant to physical contact with men. Furthermore, these were all young masters of the capital with extraordinary backgrounds. She didn't dare to be too heavy-handed in order to avoid making enemies for the Xue family.
The yellow-clothed girl had her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking as if she was watching a show. Xue Baochai could only helplessly ask for help from Song Qingshu, "Baoyu, come and help."
Song Qingshu couldn't just stand by and watch, especially since Xue Pan had treated him pretty well along the way. He couldn't just watch him suffer.
However, he was not interested in fighting with this group of rich playboys. He directly grabbed a teapot and threw it at the crowd.
Bang!
The teapot smashed onto the head of the person who was fighting with Xue Pan, and the tea splashed onto everyone else. Those people hurriedly let go of Xue Pan and hurriedly tidied up their clothes.
Lu Shidao shouted, "Jia Baoyu, are you crazy?"
Hearing him call his name directly, Song Qingshu thought that the Lyu family was really going to break off relations with the Jia family. He said, "I'd like to ask you why you're so crazy. We're all from the capital city and we see each other all the time. Moreover, we have important tasks on our journey to the west. But now you're fighting over a girl from a brothel? Where would the face of the imperial court be? If today's matter were to spread to Lin 'an, what do you think the consequences would be? "
Everyone was dumbfounded by his rebuke. Someone suddenly thought, Jia, you're usually a playboy. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with such righteous words?
When they were about to refute, Xue Baochai had already pulled out the long sword from her waist. She said coldly, "The imperial court assigned me to be responsible for your safety. If anyone makes trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing the shining long sword, these people realized that they were from the mysterious and cold-blooded Imperial City Department. They gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Hua Yuyan hurried to ease the atmosphere. She said, "It's all my fault. I've made you fall out with each other. How about this, all of your expenses will be free today. My sisters will accompany you well."
Hearing this, the faces of those childes became better. They all apologized to her and expressed their gratitude.
Song QingShu smiled faintly. Before these people came up, each of them had paid five hundred taels of silver. How much could the rest of the wine cost? As for those girls accompanying them for free, these young masters were very prideful. How could they really let them do it for free? Who knew how many things they would be rewarded with as tips.
Xue Baochai hurriedly said, "Don't arrange girls for me. I don't need them."
"Oh?" Hua Yuyan glanced at her with a faint smile. The other childes also looked at her strangely.
Xue Baochai hurriedly explained, "I'm responsible for everyone's safety. I can't be distracted."
Only then did the others feel relieved, and they all thanked her one after another.
The yellow-robed girl also said coldly, "I don't need them either."
Hearing this, the childes whispered to each other.
"This gigolo doesn't like women. Could he be a rabbit?"
"But he didn't respond when we went to talk to him."
"It's because he doesn't like you guys. He probably likes that Jia Baoyu. You don't say, that guy is really beautiful. He's really born with a good appearance."
"That makes sense. He doesn't talk to anyone except Jia Baoyu."
…
Song Qingshu almost laughed out loud. With the ability of the yellow-robed girl, she could naturally hear these whispers. Her face was so cold that it was almost frozen.
He couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, "I don't need girls to accompany me. Just arrange a room for me with them, so that the House of Red Sleeves won't have to spend money." As he said this, he pointed at the yellow-robed girl and Xue Baochai.
The other childes looked at each other, as if they had expected this.
"Get out!" The yellow-robed girl was also very straightforward. She answered him with one word and rushed out of the door.
Xue Baochai glared at him with a red face, "Baoyu, don't mess around."
In the end, his wish was not fulfilled. Xue Baochai and he each had a room. As for the yellow-robed girl, she was nowhere to be seen. No one knew whether she had returned to the inn or gone somewhere else. The other childes all went back to their rooms with young and beautiful girls in their arms.
Xue Pan was the happiest one. He followed Hua Yuyan back to her room, drooling all the way.
Song Qingshu found an opportunity to say to Xue Baochai, "I think you'd better go and see your brother in case something happens."
Xue Baochai was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "You also think there's something wrong with the Courtesan Queen?" She knew her brother's character well. There were so many handsome girls, but he chose the most useless one. It would be strange if there was nothing wrong with him.
Song Qingshu rolled his eyes, "You can see it, but you still let your brother be alone with her?"
Xue Baochai immediately showed a bashful expression, "What if we are just thinking too much? What if they … do … do illicit things in the room? It would be inappropriate if I go and see them!"
"Uh, Sister Bao, you're from the Imperial City Department. Haven't you seen this kind of thing before?" Song Qingshu looked at her in surprise.
Xue Baochai blushed, "No, you have to go with me."
Song Qingshu immediately shook his head, "I don't know martial arts. I'm clumsy. I'll be easily discovered if I go there."
Xue Baochai grabbed his hand, "I'll take you there!"
